0801NWelsh PD library, Mon PD is to close down after only 2 years of business and
0801Nfew sales. Rich & Kev, who co-run Mon believe that the library has not been
0801Nthe success they hoped for. Kev told us:
0801N"We tried for 2 years and the Cosworth I was eyeing up has been put on
0801Nhold!" They blame Mon's closure on the gradual decline of the Amiga and in
0801Nparticular the lessening influence that PD libraries now have in the
0801Nspreading of disks. Kev sighted "dwindling magazine sales and people finding
0801Neverything they want on CDs and/or BBSs" as their major problem.
0801N
0801NTheir advertising in both disk and paper mags has failed to get through and
0801Nthey've "had lots of disks reviewed in the mags with brilliant reviews and
0801Nscores of 96%, but not one disk sold."
0801N
0801NMon, who were amongst the first PD houses to distribute The Zoo, told us
0801N"We've decided to call it a day on the PD scene, basically cos no one wants
0801NPD..." "We've hardly sold any PD at all".
